Me too on so many of these. Especially the Clorox wipes, not cheap or eco-friendly, but really, who can live without them!
I am actually guilty of almost all of these, myself. So bravo! Except--don't nap in the car, get back into bed.
Although modern conveniences have a cost, you need to consider the benefit.
For example, if you didn't have those specialty clothes to run in, you might not run as often, but instead you would use that time to do energy-consumptive activities like watch TV or drive somewhere. Although running, if it helps you maintain health, means you will consume more energy in your lifetime by having a longer lifetime.
I don't lose sleep over all these items, but your awareness is admirable.
